Event
Berlin & Beyond - Opening Night Film & Party
Like two cabbage rolls side by side, middle-aged couple Trudi and Rudi lead a routine life in a sleepy
German town. When Trudi learns Rudi is terminally ill, she cant tell him but wants him to see his
family one last time. They visit Berlin, where two of their grown children have little time for or interest
in them, but their plans to travel to Tokyo to see their other child are unexpectedly disrupted when
Trudi herself dies. Left with Trudis suitcase containing reminders of her interests that he had discouraged,
Rudi pushes on to Tokyo, where he finds no real sympathy from his son but discovers a new understanding
of his wife, and of himself.
Acclaimed Doris Drrie (HOW TO COOK YOUR LIFE, 2007; ENLIGHTENMENT GUARANTEED, 2000) drew
from Yasujiro Ozus classic TOKYO STORY for this beautifully acted tale of life, love and renewal.
